Heart Healthy Month

February is Healthy Heart Awareness month which we're celebrating at PPS in two ways.  The adults in the building are raising awareness about healthy hearts through Go Red for Women by wearing red this Friday (Send your child in red if you want to!) and getting their blood pressure checked by Nurse Mary.  The students are celebrating healthy hearts by participating in Jump Rope for Heart with Mr. Pecor in P.E. 

The classes at PPS have always had a friendly competition to see which class (and individual student) could jump the most jumps.  This year, the adults have joined forces with the students and will be jumping with their class.  As the students know... I have a fairly competitive spirit when it comes to jump roping and hula hooping and we are really excited to try to have the most jumps in the whole school! 

We're hoping for lots of extra jumping time and even some practice at home!

Happy jumping... we'll let you know how we do starting next Wednesday! 

Please be on the lookout for more information about our Valentine's Day celebration which will take place Friday, February 13th.

Thanks!
